EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent marble sculpture at the entrance of a Jain Temple in Dilwara, Mount Abu. Dating back to around 1100 AD, this remarkable piece of art is part of the renowned Dilwara temples, a collection of five Jain temples built by Vastupal-Tejpal during the 11th and 13th centuries. The photograph beautifully captures the intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship that went into creating this masterpiece. The carved marble displays an impressive level of symmetry and decorative elements, reflecting the rich artistic traditions associated with Jainism. Located in Rajasthan, India, these temples are celebrated for their extensive use of marble throughout their architecture. This particular sculpture serves as both an entrance to the temple and a testament to the devotion and skill of its creators. Published in The Studio Volume 124 in 1942, this monochrome image transports us back to the early decades of the 20th century when it was captured. It offers viewers a glimpse into not only religious art but also historical context from that time period. As we admire this print collector's treasure today, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates centuries-old heritage within its frame - reminding us of India's rich cultural tapestry and its enduring artistic legacy.
